Recording artists Jimi Tenor & Nicole Willis who are life partners as well as past collaborators, reunite for their new project, artist name Cola&Jimmu, "Cola", a kind of pseudonym of Nicole and "Jimmu", associated with the legend of the first emperor of Japan, Jimnu Tenno.
Both Tenor and Willis have fronted their own projects over the past decade, Willis most recently working with Helsinki - based group the Soul Investigators, for their albums Tortured Soul & Keep Reachin' Up, Timmion Records 2005, 2013. The Helsinki Sanomat recently called Willis & the Soul Investigators "the world's best on the stage of Tavastia". The title track of Keep Reachin' Up was chosen in February 2012 for POTUS, Barack Obama's Re - Election Spotify Playlist. Tenor also contributed horn arrangements to the 2 albums in the collaborative effort of Willis & the Soul Investigators. Tenor & Willis also wrote and recorded tracks from release of Tenor's Call Of The Wild, from the LP Out Of Nowhere, Warp Records 2000. As of late, Jimi Tenor collaborated with Tony Allen for their LP on Strut Records 2009, Inspiration Information, eclectic "outsider" Itetune on Temmi Kongi 2011, with Abdissa Assefa, & the self titled Soft Focus with Lary 7 on Tommi Grönlund's Puu/Sähko Recordings 2013.
Willis & Tenor have roots in dance - floor music with there separate success' such as Tenor's techno classic Take Me Baby, & Willis' neo - soul New York based project Repercussions, Promise Me Nothing which peaked at # 6 on Hot Dance Music, Club Play chart of Billboard Magazine, with remixes from Master's At Work and Supa DJ Dmitry. Cola&Jimmu revisit 1990 house, which bares so many monikers. Cola & Jimmu title it "deep house revival", drawing influences from Bobby Konders releases on NuGroove to Yellow Magic Orchestra's Firecracker, with vocal styles comparable to Gwen Guthrie & CeCe Peniston. That being said, the tracks are original and include some strong instrumentation, with Tenor's saxophone, flute, and serious drum programming. Willis offers vocals and production savvy, as well as additional chords. Tracks like 369º Grind simmer, and act as the diving board into the body of work that is Enigmatic, 10 tracks. I've Made Up My Mind is an instant classic with it's declaration of peace of mind. As well Wild Honey, with it's swelling funk chorus will have you running through that field of wild flowers!

Release : 17.03.2013 - UPC: 819162014691

Jimi Tenor and Nicole Willis´ sublime Herakles label returns with "Haunted by Hallucinations" , the new Bandproject from Petri Tokkannenm mastermind of the fabolous finish "Soul Investigators" group.
Guitarist Petri Toikkanen, who graces the liner notes of nearly all the Soul Investigators ("Home Cooking", "Keep Reachin' Up") releases, as one of the formidable composers of the musical group, makes the debut on this self titled new band´s album.
The group was founded by Toikkanen and drummer Laura Könönen as they composed their songs through hypnotic jam sessions, with bass player, Jussi Oskari. Jussi Oskari is best known for his contribution to the project, Tuvalu, a progressive rock ensemble.
The genre that sets the tone for Haunted by Hallucinations is the psychedelic cousin to that of post metal and post rock/doom. Toikkanen cites Pink Floyd, Venom, Uriah Heep, and Dio as his childhood staples. While direct influences are denied, Haunted By Hallucinations might sit well next to Earth and Goblin. That the phasers and flangers of stoner doom would be replaced with heavy doses of delay on Toikkanen's personal genre of neo - psychedelia. Toikkanen's playing has textures of surf, harking the legend of surf, Dick Dale, together with a prototype of Rock & Roll. Toikkanen's main instrument is a Fender Jazzmaster. Oskari also plays Moog Taurus bass pedal synthesizer. Laura Könönen is also a visual artist, whose main medium is sculpture, has supplied the LP cover artwork with one of her paintings and drawings.

The album is produced by Jimi Tenor & Nicole Willis.

Tracklist
A1. Ambient Pressure Mix A2. dB’s Raw edit
B1. Konrad Black’s “Decompresha" Remix B2. Nathan Jonson’s Rewind to 96 Mix !
Short Info:
Mathew Jonson's “Decompression” was first released on Minus in 2004. To celebrate 13 years since it's release Mathew has commissioned 11 artists to remix this classic split over 4 releases. The first EP of the series features remixes from dBridge, Konrad Black and Nathan Jonson, each artists contribution provides a fresh approach to a package fuelled by the influence of Drum & Bass. dBridge steps up for two remixes, the first is warped and deconstructed, the second a high energy Drum & Bass belter. Konrad Black slows things down with a darker groove whilst Nathan Jonson's 'rewind to 96’ utilises rave tropes and chopped vocal samples. The package is a magnificent addition to the legacy of ‘Decompression’ and coming next will be remixes from Seth Troxler, Deadbeat, Mike Shannon and Natalia Escobar.

Mathew Jonson’s “Decompression” was first released on Minus in 2004.
This is the first release on Mathew Jonson’s new label entitled “Freedom Engine”
Mastered at Scape Mastering

Round number four on the Frank Music Rarities series: Music that deserves being cut on a platter. "Come Closer" may sound like a long-lost Chicago House record from the late 80's but it's new. Jakob Mäder rides on a melody you've never heard before, still all about the love. On the flip you shall find two songs out of Iron Curtis' & Johannes Albert's current "Moon III" album. Oui madame, the french touch arrives via "Enjoy" and a little pop music shines through "Something Unique" featuring Indie rockets Zoot Woman on vocal duties.

Tracklist 12”:

A1 Johannes Albert - Come Closer (Your Body Next To Mine) (05:37)
A2 Jakob Mäder - Love Is Love (04:41)
B1 Iron Curtis & Johannes Albert - Enjoy (06:43)
B2 Iron Curtis & Johannes Albert - Something Unique feat. Zoot Woman (05:43)

Freedom Engine is happy to bring you “Volume 2” in the Decompression remix series.

A1 Decompression - Mathew Jonson (GMT Remix)
Remix and additional production by Guy Gerber, Phil Moffa, and Seth Troxler. Recorded at Butcha Sound, NYC.
A 2 Decompression - Mathew Jonson (Mike Shannon’s Re-compression Mix)
Mike Shannon appears courtesy of Cynosure Recordings
Remix and additional production by Mike Shannon.
B1 Decompression - Mathew Jonson (Deadbeat Remix)
Remix and additional production by Deadbeat.
B2 Decompression - Mathew Jonson (Natalia Escobar's Coral Caisson Mix)
Additional production by Natalia Escobar.


GMT (Phil Moffa, Guy Gerber and Seth Troxler) heads of the A side with a bang. The haunting
strings of the original wind their way through drums reminiscent of jacking 90's house before the
drop of the classic Decompression bassline, chopped and spliced sure to make your mid section feel
nice.
Mike Shannon touches down with a modular synth rework that takes the original and twists it into a
modern acid trip and groove signature of his programming style. Like surfing a spaceship through a
technicolor wormhole to planet funk.
Deadbeat shows his strength with a spaced out dub version. A master of his craft he delivers a
reverb drenched, morphing grove that will transport your head to an indica haze.
Natalia Escobar stretches the pulls the track into an intense ambient time machine. This escape into
the 5th dimension will induce shivers down your spine and make your 3rd eye burst into flames.
We hope you enjoy the work of these talented navigators! Safe travels : )
Volume 3 is still to come and will feature DJ Rush, DJ Sodeyama, Quenum and S Katz (a.k.a.
Katsuhiko).

2019 Repress. Brown kraftpak sleeve

stunning second 12" single on his new label´is finally coming folks. what a name for this pretty incredible 2 tracker!! "Return of the Zombie Bikers" is a massive spine shiveringly intense almost dnb b lined big room track recorded in early 2005 and can easily be compared to Mat´s strongest moments including "decompression" on minus. Don't get us wrong though, this track doesn´t necessarily need the comparison,it easily stands out by far.let it work on and let it touch you, we feel it´s probably one of the strongest records MJ ever did!! "Put your booty shorts on" is yet another a side track written in 2002 dedicated to his wife Frank and remixed with including a vocal in 2005. A unique taste of what is to come in future live sets at the festivals this summer.this is the "hi end" in micro house coming.
